TAPPING THE H IRES.
A so-called Pau-Bulgarian committee, to
agitate for Bulgarian unity, has been formed
in Adrianopie.
All arrangements for the Austrian occu
pation of Bosnia are completed. The order
of march will be delayed so as to enable
Austria to enter the province as a friend,
and not the enemy of Turkey, but whether
the good will of Turkey is secured or not,
it will not be delayed much longer. The
Porte has given instructions to the Turkish
authorities in the province to receive the
Austrians in a friendly spirit under all cir
cumstances.
A small faction of the extreme Turcophils
in Great Britain have presented a petition
to the House of Commons, demanding the
impeachment of Beaconsfield.
The Italian agitation absorbs all other po-
itical interest in Rome. It is well understood
that the agitations are fomented by the
friends of Democracy and a republic. A
reactionary movement has now set in, the
masses beginning to realize the harm likely
to result to the country from agitation.
Lady Dexter, a famous trotter, burst a
blood vessel while trotting on the Somer
ville (N. J.) course Wednesday and died.
She was of Hambletonian stock and was
valued at $3,000.
Professor Grote, of Georgia, Messrs. Wil
liam J. Jones, of Texas, E. II. Anderson, of
Mississippi, and Professor Comstock, of Cor
nell University, have been appointed to
study the cotton worm during the present
season.
The stockholders of the South Pass Jetty
Company have fully exonerated Capt. Eads
of the charges lately made against him of
spending the money of the company im
properly’.
Secretary Sherman continued his testimo
ny before the Potter Committee yesterday.
He said that the Republican visiting states
men did not interfere with the action of the
returning board, and denied that he received
or wrote to Anderson and Weber the letters
attributed to him. He says, however, that
he might have written many things con
tained in said letters, and he never thought
of the outrages committed in Louisiana
without getting angry. Garfield also testi
fied, and denounced as a lie the statement
that the “visiting statesmen” advised the
returning board to stretch its powers. Sher
man also denied several other statements of
E. L. Weber, and denied that Eliza Pinkston
was exhibited and examined as part of a plot
for political purposes. Both Garfield and
himself were hardly pressed by Butler in re
gard to the removal of the New Orleans
Postmaster and the Gubernatorial election
in Louisiana.
A highly sensational and dramatic suicide
occurred at Capron, Ill., Tuesday night. One
George W. Burleigh advertised that in order
to gratify the curiosity of his townsmen to
w itness a tragedy, he would deliver a lecture,
and at the conclusion of the same shoot
himself through the forehead. The hall
was crowded, and he carried out his pro
gramme fully. He delivered an infidel
lecture, and at the end drew a derringer
pistol from his pocket, placed it to his fore
head, fired, and fell lifeless.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company ob
jects to transporting over its lines silver
specie from the Pacific coast to Washington
as mail matter of the third class on account
of the increased responsibility' and expense
involved thereby. The Post Office Depart
ment w rites that the coin is legitimately
mailable, and if the company declines the
business, other arrangements must be made.
A coach was stopped near Lightning
creek, Wyoming, yesterday morning by six
masked men on foot. Only one passenger
was aboard and he was unmolested, but the
robbers cut open the mail sacU and robbed
them of registered letters and other valuable
matter.
The Paris Temps says the Italian demands
are as unreasonable as the}’ arc ridiculous,
ami the tot agitations may prove of great
danger to Italy, It is believed that they are
work of a few hot-headed Democrats, how
ever, and Italy is not responsible for them,
Turkey lias acceded to all the demands of
Austria in the matter of the occupation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina. The inhabitants
of those provinces, however, are still organ
izing for resistance.
The agricultural districts of Spain are suf
fering greatly from drought.
Changes in the foreign representation of
the Vatican has been postponed until No
vember, when a Papel Inter-Nuncio, hav
ing a semi-official status, will go to Eng
land, since this latter country will not send
a representative to the Vatican.
The Treasury Department has issued a
circular relative to the value of Mexican
and Trade dollars. It states that section
3,5»4 of the Revised Statutes declare that
no foreign coin shall be legal tender. Hence
Mexican and Trade dollars have only a bul
lion value. At the present price of silver
bullion Mexican dollars are worth 90 8-10
cents. All foreign coins are purchased at
the Philadelphia mint and N'ew York Assay
office at the equivalent of London rates for
silver bullion on the day of purchase, less
% cent, per ounce of fine silver contained
therein.
The Commissioner of Internal Reve
nue lias received from Governor Wade
Hampton a petition, drawn up by a
prominent member of the South Caro
lina Legislature, signed by several mem
bers and a large number of Judges and
leading attorneys of the northwestern
part of the State, asking for the pardon
of fifteen illicit distillers who arc under
at rest in that section.
Grant :« always praising Sheridan.
Little Phil’s fearless conduct in New
(Means, when he gallantly telegraphed,
“I am not afraid," has endeared him to
the “greatest living American." That
was bold language, and for the time
ijiiile eclipsed even the memorable order
of General Dix to the peaceful and inof;
fensive department clerk, “If any man
hauls down,” etc.
The Cincinnati Commercial says'that
“the man who handed the country over
to the Democratic party, by and with
the advice and consent of the Senate,
was General Grant, the great and only
ex-President. He began with every
thing, and State after State turned to lie
Democratic soon after he displayed his
remarkable inequalities as a civil offi-
A'V.T."
“There is no more doubt,” says a
writer in the Popular Science Monthly,
“that drinking ice water arrests digestion
than there is that a refrigerator would
arrest perspiration. It drives from the
stomach its natural heat, suspends the
Low of gastric juice, and shocks and
weakens the^ielicate organs with which
it comes in contact.”
The proposition of the United States
to hold a monetary conference to settle
the question of the relations of gold and
silver has been accepted by France, Bel

land, Austria, Russia and England.
Germany may also take part in its dis
cussions, hut this is not certain. The
sessions will probably begin at Paris on
the 10th proximo.
One death from yellow fever occurred
in St Louis on Saturday last. The de

named W. P. O’Bannon, had within a

Radical Plots Further Exposed.
A correspondent who writes from At
lanta to a Chicago paper of the ultra-
Radical stripe, gives, in a letter dated the
17th inst., a long and detailed account
of the political status at present existing
in each district of the State. A fair idea
of the style of his entire communication
may be obtained from what he says
about the First district.
After mentioning the different names
so far prominently spoken of in con
nection with the coming Congres
sional nomination, he says: “It is
very probable that the Republicans
will nominate a candidate in this dis
trict; and, if he be a good man, it is not
so certain that he will meet with defeat.
The Republican* are organizing, and if
they do not nominate, will support a
good Independent, and thereby elect
him. This is better than for them to
make a nomination.” From the above
extract two very Interesting facts may be
gathered for the edification of the voters
of the State in general and those of this
district in particular.
First. It is shown thereby that the Radi
cal party in this State is not a dead organ
ization. Like the cunning opossum.it only
feigns death for purposes of expediency,
and as soon as circumstances are propi
tious, proposes to again arouse itself and
struggle for political supremacy. W e are
specially informed, and by- one doubtless
who knows,(for he writes with confidence
from Atlanta to that most ultra of Radi
cal ultras, the Chicago Tribune,) that the
Radicals are organizing, and if they see
any chance of success, and deem it wise
or prudent so to do, will bring out a fuli-
liedged Radical candidate for Congress
here in the First district.
Second. We learn that, failing in ibis
design, the next thing the Radical or
ganization here propose to do is to
unite on some “good Independent” and
endeavor thereby to defeat the regular
Democratic nominee, which, in the opin
ion of the said writer, will be better than
to make a nomination. Thus we have
another evidence of the Radical plan of
bringing about Democratic defeat by
means of so-called Democrats who, to
gratify their personal ambition, are wil
ling, under the specious name of “Inde
pendent,” to lend themselves to the de
struction of the party of law, order and
State freedom in Georgia, and to the suc
cess of the justly detested Radical party.
The writer of the letter herein alluded
to, does not confine himself to the First
district by any means. He speaks in
the same way of every Congressional
district in the State. Being himself evi
dently a Radical, he thus opens the eyes
of the voters afresh to the plots and
schemes of his party, and gives the peo
ple of Georgia ample warning of what
they' must expect if they permit any in
fluence to seduce them from alle
giance to the party which was their only
safeguard in the perilous and unhappy
days of the past. Perhaps the choice of
the next President of the United States
may depend upon the vote of the mem
bers of Congress to he chosen this fall.
Surely, under such circumstances, a
word to the wise should be all sufficient.
In such a crisis we will need in Congress
simon pure Democrats—not Representa
tives under obligations to. Radical votes
for their scats in that body.
Indiana Politics.—Information of a
private nature received from Indiana is
to the effect that Senator Voorhees has
overcome the combination which was
formed to defeat his return to the United
States Senate, and the outlook now is
that he will be his own successor. He
will take an active part in the pending
fall campaign in his own State, and can
vass it in behalf of the State candidates
from one corner to the other. From the
same source it is learned that Judge Hol
man, tiie chronic Congressional objector,
the Nemesis of Southern "loyal" claim
ants, will be nominated in the Fifth Con
gressional district of Indiana, with very
favorable chances of his election,
The poor of New York have many
discomforts, but in same respects they
are favored above their brethren in other
cities. The six free baths, which are
visited each day by more than thirty
thousand people, are an incalculable ad
vantage, both as regards health and com
fort. The workingmiju can take his
plunge before or after his labor,
the baths beiijg reserved exclusively for
his enjoyment from 5 to 7 a. m. and
from 6 to 9 p. m., though open all day.
This system is the best antidote in the
world for the effects of tenement life.
Europe will next year be divided
among five great powers—Germany, Rus
sia, Austria, Great Britain and France:
four of medium importance—Sweden,
Spain, Italy and Turkey; thirteen small
States — Norway, Denmark, HoUand,
Belgium, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece,
Roumania, Servia, Bulgaria, Montene
gro, Eastern Roumelia, and probably
Western Roumelia; besides three minute
States—Monaco, San Marino, and An
dorra. If no one else rejoices at the out
come of the Congress, I he diplomatic
service will.
A Bad Investment.—A few months
ago the Centennial Board of Fi
nance, at Philadelphia, deeded the
main building to the Permanent Exhibi
tion Company for $40,000. This sum
was paid by a number of the directors of
the company. It is now desired to re
turn this money, and as the receipts from
visitors to the exhibition barely pay the
running expenses, resort will be had to a
mortgage. An effort is now being made
to borrow the insigQificiiot sum of $40,-
000 on the building, whose cost was up
in the millions,
There is reason to believe that Senator
Conkling will be a witness before the
Potter Committee, and that he will be
called at the request of General Butler.
Some days ago Chairman Potter said
there was to be a witness for whom
General Butler had made great prepara
tions. and laie» information confirms the
belief that the witness is oocatpr Conk
ling. It is expected that the recent re
movals in the custom house at New Y'ork
will tend to make his testimony interest
ing. It is even asserted that Conkling
lias seen the Sherman letter.
Emigration from Ireland.—The re
port of the Irish Registrar-General shows
that 41,22/5 persons emigrated during
1877, an increase of 2,910 over last year.
Since 1851, when the collection of emi
gration returns liegan, 2,452,481 persons
have left Ireland permanantly, 07 per
cent, being between the ages of 15 and
35 years. Of late years a striking change
has occurred in the destination of emi
grants, and of the 38,503 natives of Ire
land who emigrated last year, 20,271
went to Great Britain, and only 12,018 to
the United States.
Redfield writes from Washington to
the Cincinnati Commercial that the Presi
dent, Secretary Sherman and others* be
lieve that altogether the best way to cir
culate the silver dollars is to pay them
out to the pensioners. In this way the
much-abused dollar would, they think,
get into the country and jingle in the
pockets of the plain people.
Newspaper Suspension
The Charleston Journal of Commerce
suspended on Wednesday last. Its pub
lication was commenced in May, 1870
under what was regarded as most en
couraging auspices, backed by an asso
ciation of stockholders, with consider
able capital, and having an able.corps of
editors and the promise of a liberal pat
ronage from the Charleston public, who
at that time felt the necessity for a sec
ond daily paper After a little more
than two years* hard struggle for exist
ence, after expending the capital origi
nally invested, together with its current
income, and creating a debt of some
twenty or thirty thousand dollars, it has
been obliged to succumb to the inevita
ble, and thus furnish another evidence of
the hazardous uncertainty of journalistic
enterprise in the South.
Commenting on the suspension of its
late competitor, the News and Courier
says:
“The attempt to establish a second news
paper in Charleston has cost somebody in
the neighborhood of sixty thousand dollars,
outside of the entire revenue from ad
vertisements and subscriptions, and withal,
at the end, the Journal of Commerce was
farther from a paying footing than on the
first day it was given to the public. This
seems inexplicable, but the reason is not
hard to find or difficult to understand.
“The publication of an additional news
paper, in any settled community, does not
add materially to the number of newspaper
readers, or to the volume of advertising
business. For the most part, they who read
newspapers at all have taken, for years, a
newspaper to which they have grown ac
customed. In like manner, advertisers have
settled upon a newspaper which they know,
by experience, to be adapted to their wants.
The newly published pape**, therefore, un
der ordinary circumstances, can build up a
paying business only by taking circulation
and advertising from another newspaper oc-
cupyingthe same field. A newspaper does not
rest on one prop, or on a hundred: the
small payments of thousands of customers
form its solid foundation. Such supports
cannot be swept away at one blow : they
must be cut out one by one. To vary the
simile, the business of a newspaper is like a
huge heap of small pebbles. It cannot be
blasted out or shovelled away, but must be
taken down a pebble at a time, as it was
builded up. The essence, then, of suc
cess in a new venture in journalism is
time; time to allow the readers of the es
tablished newspaper to note the merit of
the new comer ; time to enable them to see
that ‘tbe other paper’ suits them better
than the one they have been reading. At
best, starting a newspaper in a place like
Charleston is a weary, disheartening work.
When a new paper makes its bow it has few
readers. Advertisers will not touch it,
because they know its circulation to be in
considerable. Its first freshness and bril
liancy are wasted on the hundreds, while
the thousands whom it hopes to captivate
are in blissful ignorance of its existence.
Yet there is an even chance that time will
conquer ever}' difficulty, provided that the new
pentnre is at least as yinxl a newspaper as the
pajwr it aims to supplant. Without this, the
lapse of time merely gauges the loss of
money.
“There is no hope for a new paper unless
it can be kept on the same plane with its
established competitor. To do this requires
brains as well as money. The annual ex
penses of the Xews and Courier are in the
neighborhood of 6eventy-five thousand dol
lars. Not a cent of that large sum is wast
ed. A paper of the standing of the News
and Courier cannot be published at less cost,
except in the matter of the bills for print
ing paper, which do not amount to much in
the case of a newly started journal. The
promoters of a new paper in Charleston
must, to succeed, be prepared to spend
$1,200 or $1,300 a week, until they can, bit by
bit, eat away the business of the News aiul
Count r. And even with equal expenditures,
the superior energy, foresight and experi
ence will win the tight. With newspapers,
as in the animal kingdom, the survival of
the fittest is the inexorable law. * * * *
“All this may seem of little consequence
to the public, but, in truth, it is a matter
of large importance. Such a city as Charles
ton must choose between one newspaper
of high grade, or two, or more, puny
sheets, half-starved, and equally unsatis
factory to their owners and to the public.
This is the experience of Augusta, Savan
nah and Macon, also, where the effort to
keep alive two daily newspapers of merit
and ability has signally failed. When
there is but one journal, the publishers
can afford to continue to spend money
lavishly, without embarrassment, in col
lecting and publishing news. They make
a newspaper which is a credit to tbe city.
By-its newspapers, away from home, the
standing of a city is estimated and judged.
In the one newspaper the public get more
than the news that is otherwise scattered
over two or three meagre sheets, and the
news is digested and arranged in a way that
is impracticable where the working force is
small and underpaid. To advertisers the
gain is far larger. An announcement in one
paper reaches everybody; tbe advertising is
(lone more effectually in two or three pa
pers, and at half the cost, or less,"
The Mississippi Jetties.—In a letter
to Congressman Crittenden, of Missouri,
written on the 8th inst., Captain Eads
says: “The jetty channel is now almost
as good as the entrance to New York
harbor. Larger ships and steamers visit
the port of New Orleans than ever be
fore. Ocean freights have been so great
ly lowered in consequence that the sav
ing on cotton alone from the port of
New Orleans the past season was over
one million six hundred thousand dol
lars. Every intelligent man in Missouri
knows that a revolution has been
wrought in the grain trade as a result of
Ihis deep water. As the channel deep
ens and commerce adjusts itself to these
new conditions the benefits to the pro
ducers in Missouri will be still more ex
tensively enjoyed. Tbe permanent im
provement of tne month of the Missis
sippi operates as a regulator of transpor
tation charges, and thus adds to the value
of every bushel of grain grown for ex
port to Europe or for consumption in the
Atlantic States; and it also cheapens to
the farmer all of his merchandise and
other supplies brought from the East.”
The extent of the damage caused by
the intense heat in the West is not yet
fully determined. Even in agriculture
evil effects are noted. While the com
crops have been improved, the wheat,
which in some sections has not yet been
secured, owing partly to the scarcity of
labor, is damaged through the rust and
smut caused by the severe heat, which
followed heavy winds and storms of rain
and hail that flattened the grain, aqd the
loss is estimated at many million dollars.
Western and Southern Minnesota, Wis
consin and Northern Iowa are mentioned
as the sections which have suffered the
most, It is not likely, however, that the
mishap is of sufficient consequence to
compel ti modification of the statement
previously made, that the gram product
of the United States this year will be
larger than for many years past.
A new experiment in temperance leg
islation is a bill before the British Par
liament permitting the habitual drunk
ard to appear before a magistrate and
register against himself a sentence of
detention at some retreat for inebriates,
duly licensed and inspected by authority.
The sentence is for one year, but after
three months may he shortened by any
judge who may be satisfied that reform
has been effected and that release is for
the public interest. The expense of the
asylum is of course by the patient.
A solid silver brick, weighing two
hundred and ninety pounds and worth
four thousand six hundred dollars, made
its appearance in Kansas City on the 10th
instant, en route by- express from Silver
City, New Mexico, to New York. It
will probably soon be coined into silver
dollars for the delectation of Wall street
and to increase John Sherman’s hoard of
coin preparatory to resumption.
When through evils brought upon
them by unwise and bad government,
the suffering masses become discontented
and turbulent, it is the mission of true
statesmanship to devise measures to re
store the prosperity of the people.
Grant’s method is to “kill them.”
It is not true that General Grant has
signified to Beaconsfield that he would
like also to have one of Queen Victoria's
garters. Ilord soil qui mal y pense.

FIRTUER REGARDING TIIE POTTER INVESTI
GATION.
Atlantic City, X. J., July 25.—In the
course of Sherman's testimony he said, with
reference to Weber’s testimony, that he had
never heard of any plan to manipulate the
vote of Louisiana, nor was he at any time
writing at the desk at the custom house.
Weber must haye 6een somebody else. The
testimony of that witness about a caucus,
at which he was present, is a falsehood,
made out of whole cloth. He was astonished
that so many Republicans stood up for a
fight amid so much intimidation, and 60
many threats on the part of the Democrats,
lie denied that the exhibition and state
ments concerning Eliza Pinkston were part
of a plot for political purposes.
^Referring to the appointment of Sauer as
one of the local appraisers at New Orleans,
Butler asked Sherman if the appointment
did not come down from the White House
instead of going from Sherman to the Presi
dent?
The Secretary replied, the papers will
show that. You trench on delicate ground.
I ou^ht not to tell you what the President
said to me or what I said to the President.
Butler—I don’t ask you for Cabinet
secrets, but I have come to the conclusion
that there ought to be no secrets in a free
government.
Secretary—I will give you the exact facts
when we reach Washington.
Butler—But papers will not help the case
nor answer my question. Was not Parker
removed a s Postmaster at New Orleans and
Badger appointed in his place on ihe same
day that Sauer was appointed ? Was there
any consideration about it ?
The Secretary declined to answer, when
Butler said, I want to prove that nothing was
said in the Cabinet about it.
Garfield, in his testimony, said that he
was more indebted to the late D. A. Weber,
Supervisor of Elections for West Feliciana,
for information relative to that parish, than
to any one else. Weber said the whole trouble
there was founded* on suggestions of the
Democratic State Committee, who advised
the formation of rifle clubs for the purpose
of intimidating the Republicans, and to
show that there was physical as well as
moral force in the movement, Weber
said he could not then return to West Fe
liciana without running the risk of being
killed, although it might be safe for him to
return after the excitement was over. Mr.
Uarfield said, among other things, the air
of New Orleans was fall of stories that tiie
colored members of tbe returning board
might be tampered with„butjconf)ddnce was
expressed in the white members,
General Butler asked witness—Have you
any doubts that if the State was carried for
Hayes it was also carried for Packard ?
Answer—I think Packard was honestly
elected, but the final outcome was for
Nicholls.
Butler—I thought the Legislature declared
for Packard and put him in as Governor un
til the struggle which put him out.
Aftfijyer—I do not so understand it.
BuTTer, continuing the question on this
score, said: Did you not understand that
the Legislature did make a declaration that
Packard was elected Governor and inaugu
rated him, and that he remained Governor
until he was unseated by another power.
This same Legislature elected Kellogg as
Senator, and the United States Senate re
cognized him a- legally elected 'i
Answer—But I do not understand that
the party opposed to Packard lost the power
to contest.
Question—After a man has been declared
C!“C ,tft d by the ^returning board and been
inaugurated as oo7Cr. nnr do you understand
that the Legislature can turn him oUt ? Do
you understand that can be done ?
Answer—That depends pn the statute. I
know that it can be done in case of a con
test.
Question—Do you know of such a con
test in that Legislature ?
Answer—I am not particularly familiar
with the proceedings.
Question—Did not the Legislature and
Governor Packard maintain themselves for
three months?
Answer—They maintained about eight
acres of Louisiana.
Question—1 am asking for time and you
give me acres.
Auswer—I think about three months.
Question—Did not they maintain them
selves till the President sent a body of men
down there to break thfem up?
Answer—I think not.
Question—Did they not maintain them
selves until the McYeagh Commission was
sent down ?
Answer—They were maintained by troops.
Question—Do you know any act of troops
or of au order to maintain that Legislature?
Hiscock objected to this question. All this
he said was current history. It is as notori
ously know n to one gentleman as to another.
Besides such an examination does not come
within the letter of the authority under
which the commission is acting.
Butler—Every time I get this matter to a
point, my brother objects. He was patient,
however, to-day while Secretary Sherman
was making irrelevant remarks.
Mr. Hiscock—All I can say i6 this. If
the gentlem&u considered the remarks im
proper he could have objected to them.
Chairman Potter—I will leave the decision
of this question to my colleague (Mr.
Springer) as all other members of the com

VALUE OF MEXICAN AND TRADE DOLLARS.
Washington, July 25.—A circular issued
at the Treasury Department to-day relative
to the value of Mexican and trade dollars,
says: “Section 3584 of the Revised Statutes
declares that no foreign ^old or silver coins
shall be a legal tender in the pay
ment of debts.” Mexican and trade
dollars, therefore, have only a bullion I
value. At present prices of silver bullion
the Mexican dollar is worth 90 8-10 cents.
Mexican, United States trade dollars and all]
other foreign silver coins are purchased at
the Philadelphia mint and New Y'ork Assay
office at the equivalent of London rates for
silver bullion on the day of purchase, less
one-half cent per ounce of flue silver eon|
tained therein. i
The three-cent piece nuisance is now
in a fair way to be abated, postmasters
having been ordered to send all money
of that description which they may re
ceive at their offices to Washington, in
order that its circulation may be stopped.
In a recent interview w’ith a corres
pondent of the Boston Herald, Kearney,
the labor agitator, said he believed in
burning all the statute books, to get rid
of lawyers, who are all hired to lie.
The annoyance occasioned by the con
tinual crying of the baby at once ceases
when the cause is (as it should be) promptly
removed by using Dr. Bull's Baby Syrup.
Price 25 cents per bottle. It
